Age Difference... When Is Too Much Just Too Much..??

[Northerner]

Re read post number 76 concerning the context in which the discussions on this thread are taking place.

Your association with the weight of an individuals opinion and the ability to pass legislation is somewhat obscure to say the least.

If there are enough individuals with equal opinions concerning a particular issue. Then all have equal weight at the ballot box when they try to elect representatives with similar opinions, however objectionable they may be.

They may, or may not be outnumbered by people with differing opinions, but both have equal weight in our society.

If by equal weight you mean you have as much right to speak your opinions. Absolutely!

But that is not my argument. I say that the opinion that personal freedom and expression far outweighs the opinion that 20 years of an age gap is 'over the line'!
